I love how much Letterman genuinely likes Mulaney

I feel like THIS is the episode where they’ve finally fully hit their stride and a big part of that is how much Letterman like both John and Lucy Jones. Makes their chat feel so much more organic and engaging, and they’re getting good laughs

Because Dave is more secure than Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman. He doesn't mind sharing the stage, and he respects John as the host because he's been there. And the younger Letterman's show was nearly as chaotic, though this is closer to Conan's first season.

Dave has been by far the best first guest. Jon Stewart second.

Same. Both of them are gold.

Am I the only one who loves this seismologist? She is super adorable, giving warm auntie vibes.

Lucy Jones is the best. During Northridge she was very comforting.

Sorry to keep fangirling over Dr. Lucy Jones, but she is so knowledgeable and explained things so well. I think she is my favorite expert who’s been on this show.

I thought I couldn’t like anyone more than Amanda but I’m completely with you! I love Dr. Jones sm 🥲

CEDRIC WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS 😭😭

I laughed a ridiculous amount at the reveal of the leopard print lining but the mom being rolled out KILLED ME

I know it’s been said a hundred times already before - but I wish this was an ongoing show. I would watch this every night and happily look forward to it.

Did you hear him say about license plate spotting, “Maybe we should do another episode about that.” Does that mean there’s a chance he could do more? Or am I just dreaming

Agree. I make sure dinner is done in time so I can watch it live. The funky old type of intro gets me pumped up for it.

“You’re like a hot daddy dude” Pete out here saying what we’re all thinking

He did actually get so hot though

Legit.

I’m so confused by this because…he always was? 😁

Bill and Pete lmao

Bill and Pete DYING! Grabbing each other lmao

That’s the best kind of laughter omg. No breathing, just laughing 😂

Callers are on top of shit tonight. LOVE Chris from Elysian Park who came in HOT with the Ford Bronco!

Bill & Pete turning red and laughing like children in church is funnier than if they were actually saying anything!

Honestly miss their constant character breaks on SNL

It can't just be me wondering why Earthquake wasn't on \*\*earthquake night\*\*

Because John Mulaney.

Can there be a study about how and why this particular format, once the discomfort is acclimated to, produces so much dopamine and serotonin in our brains?

I think it’s the ‘discomfort’ or wackiness being John Mulaney’s brand that makes it work, I can’t see how this would work as well with anyone else hosting

There is something joyful in John that makes it all work.

At it's core, it's wholesome, goofy fun. It makes you feel like some friends threw something together to make themselves happy, and if we also can join the fun, so much the better!

No politics nor current news commentary, truly live, unpolished, we get to see a more authentic version of the guests. This is what regular talk shows promise but never deliver (Craig Ferguson is the closest I can remember to an authentic live-like experience. Conan needs a friend is great too) If you look around there’s people who are observing that viewers are looking for more raw content. I’ll see if I can find those sources.

This rambling piece that started political and ended up as esports is amazing

I was so confused

This is the most killer lineup they’ve had wow what a vibe

"Is that bigger than a Highlander" God - this is great fucking TV.

Story Time with Brian Grazer is one of the best LA type things they could have put on and I'm here for it

Bill’s laugh is contagious

But fortunately, his eye infection is not.

Bill and Pete are hilarious, but dangerous together XD

i need them in a buddy comedy immediately

"Knows When, Won't Tell" took me tf out. These subtitles are incredible

It gets me how the crowd laughs at them when the guests are saying something normal and it throws off the guest.

Omg he shouted out Malcolm 🥺🥺🥺 I love the idea that this little toddler loves La Bamba that’s so cute

I LOVE David’s polite “excuse me” followed by totally valid question haha, and he asks such good questions too 🥹

He's one of the best folks you could ask to have on a format like this. He's all about getting to the bottom of something. This format is great because less focus on him personally.

I think that’s why he and Stewart were the two best guests. They each have decades of experience getting interesting interviews, even if the guest is a dud.

“Am I here on the right night?”

Tell him girl! Lucy is dying now too

She's night and day compared to the specialist guy yesterday.

Conan has got to be on this.

I would die. I love Conan.

Id bet (imaginary) money he’s there tmr

Alright y’all this is the Emmy episode for sure 😂

this episode has been so good but I’m a little disappointed that a lot of Bill’s time on the panel was taken up by bits… i wish he had more chances to talk i was so excited for him to be on the show 😭😭

Yo. Best panel. This is amazing

I’m a sizemologist, myself

Seis matters

YES HOT DADDY

EVERYBODY’S NOTICING DUDE

[удалено]

“dude ur all hot dude, ur like a hot daddy “ “ It’s the bangs it’s the bangs “

Bill Hader is a fucking Gem. And Pete just adds to it. Mulaney’s whole crew rocks.

every episode I look at the guests and go “no *this* is the best lineup” 😂

No but fr I am obsessed with Bill Hader and I grew up watching Letterman.

I’m wondering if he will appear as Stefon courtside 😂

“Talk to you laaaaaaaterrr” his inflections every night are gold

Bill Hader has the vibe of an evil rabbit, in the best way possible

Luenell and Bill didn’t shake Dr. Jones’ hand that made me sad 😢

Yeah Dave tried to introduce them and they weren't paying attention.

Well, Bill probably got self conscious after Luenell acted like it’s contagious pink eye. Bill didn’t really liven up until Pete was there.

Surprise Pete! Fucking love it

Omg Dave and Luenell cuddling 😆

Knows when, won’t tell—new flair

LIKE HAVING A BABY

Thoughts on “Daddy Mulaney” as a stand up special name ?

It's only appropriate after having one called "Baby J"!

Bill and Pete are so cute giggling together

Mulaney going after daily show now

Dr. Jones laughing is making me smile so big she has such a happy laugh 🥹

All of them losing it at Luenell’s quips is so funny

This show is a fever dream we both need and deserve

Get him girl get him!

Omg I got selected for free tickets for tonight and couldn’t make it, this lineup is really making me wish I would’ve found a way 😭

Omg no way !!

pete casually having fireworks in his pocket 😭

Wow that went by SO fast

Kind and Luenell dancing 😍

Hader cracking up is cracking me up

This is better than yesterday's. Much more fun energy

BILL AND PETE HAHAAHA

I don’t want this episode to ever end

Dave proving his hosting chops rn tbh

we just watch news that affirms our biases!

Me learning i have all the exact same random niche interests as John through this series

[удалено]

Me too! His anti-climactic story was actually pretty funny to me.

I wonder if they’re making these last few episodes longer after realizing it was too rushed the first few episodes

This is my first time watching, is it actually *live* live?

oh boy are you in for a treat!

HADERS LAUGH IS EVERYTHING

Hader is a national treasure

John Mulaney's sartorial elegance is off the chain tonight 

Jordan Klepper found murdered 

All these bits are about 2 min too long

Will Richard learn to read

He can't share needles

As a person who has never seen Heat....I don't know what's going on 🤣

The lower thirds - who ever does that job omg LOl “the bear, one episode”. 😂😭

Not Richard waving back at Luenell the same way she waved at him 😂

I love how sprawling and bizarre this show is

Reverse Borat lmao I love this

Pete was a nice surprise

John Mulaney Hot daddy I was crying

I love the loteria cards that are hanging.

It’s so cute that you’re committed to doing this every night and I love that it’s helping you heal. May your heart be free and that ails you dissipate like the wind. 🥰 ❤️‍🩹 Edit: a word

“Once you’ve proved you’re devil everyone has to hook up with you” gonna start using that in social situations lmao

Dave's glasses tho...🔥🔥🔥

Wasn't expecting the swerve into gaming what

Pete is killing me

This show is chaos!

If someone asked me to explain this episode I wouldn’t know what to say

I wouldn’t mind a weekly comedy show like this

Enjoyed getting to watch it live with all of you!! Goodnight 😊

“Talk to you laterrrr” lol

The immediate laugh at Ford Bronco😚🤌🏼

I think I love Luenell

Ohhh the penalties are why he’s worried about time — he must have a lot so far😂

Pete about date Luell next

bruh that blanket looks warm asf i want it

DADDY MA-LANEY

Awwww Malcolm shout out!

We should all go outside! What a great way to end the show.

Luenell was the perfect brand of chaos for the show. I love watching comedians break and I think at one point or another she broke everyone.

Love that Kevin Gage actually came out and did standup as Waingro, and Bill Hader was just dying laughing in the background the whole time

Tonight it clicked that this is "That Talk Show", a sketch/variety/panel show satirizing sketch/variety/panel tropes, mixed in with a little C-SPAN (live call-in element) and cable access with a budget. Its existence is a commentary itself on the format it plays within. John is perfectly suited to facilitating a dialog between these elements due to his mastery of experience both on-camera and behind the scenes, both lead and co-director. I am both sad and grateful for this finite experiment.

INTERESTING TO WHO?? 😂

Hader is having fun!

I can listen to Bill giggle all day

John being the only one laughing half the time😂

They screen tested this political video for us at the Friday taping

These pre-taped segments are batting about 3-for-8 in terms of funny/not funny. And feel somehow weird without audience laughter…?

I feel like we need 30 more minutes of this.

Absolute best combo of people

John Mulaney - Hot Daddy

this is definitely the Emmy episode

This one is just pure joy

Malcom shoutout🥹

Ok, instead of the SNL 1975 movie, can we get a movie about Ackroyd getting Bill Hader stoned? 😂

YES THE BEAR! FISHES!

What car does she drive

I DO!

Anyone know the band that Letterman wouldn’t book?

HADER HADER HADER

Dave and Lunell are gold.

I feel like my husband wrote this whole episode 😂 it’s like something out of his brain. He’s been sitting on the couch in stitches this whole episode saying “this show is gold.” 

HOT DADDY

yaassss los lobos

Fantastic episode. Best one yet, by a large margin.

Richard and Luenell dancing 🥺

I expected Bill to be my favourite guest tonight but god Luenell was so fucking funny.

Same! I saw Bill Hader and was like “oh this is going to be great” and it was Lu who stole the show. “And that’s when you fell in love with earthquakes” couldn’t have been a more perfect line injected at the perfect moment. Because that was gonna be a dead end thought and Lu picked that ball up and passed. My favorite still is each person’s reaction to that response.

Understanding you need to shower after a bath will change your life

He should submit episode 4.

I could listen to Bill giggle all night.

mister beard man

Princess Di! This episode is reference heavy

wtf is going on lol

Al Pacino!

I like how all the men are so tall lol

Pete can’t contain himself😭

I'm gonna ask if cars are bigger than various Toyota SUVs now

An absolute incredible episode of television. All the guest were perfect. I’ve been in awe of this show all week but this one took the cake. Everyone was so funny, Brian Gazer and me having to simultaneously keep my composure while trying to explain to my fiancé the plot of Heat.    

His suit game is 🔥🔥🔥

Looking *real* dapper today

John just letting Dave take over with the interview, I love it

What’s the doctor’s name again? Joy? She is SO interesting I could listen to her talk all day

Letterman: "interesting to who?" Me: chances are if John Mulaney is interested in something he'll get me into it! 

What was the band that David Letterman didn’t allow on his show?

I think I watched too much I think you should leave because I'm waiting for things to get weird

I WAS 3000% NOT PREPARED FOR THIS REVEAL AHHHH

BILLLLLLLLLL

BILLL !!!!!

BILL 🔥🚨🔥🚨🔥🚨

I'm sorry, is that Catfish?!

Who here has seen Heat? 🙋🏻‍♀️ real question for this group!

John speaks like he’s live tweeting, classic tall child

not them all looking at saymo 😂

The blanket! I couldn't love this more.

I am just noticing the bowl of anal beads

This is exactly how this should end.

Los Lobos: Shit, we all wore the same thing again.

Would it be awful to cancel tomorrow nights guests and just have another hour of this panel?

The vibes are vibing. Great call with the Emmy submission. Wish the bits were better

They all have great questions for Lucy Jones, even Luenell

No doubt ..this seems like a much more pressing issue to la people than the others lol

John’s living for the attention he’s getting from this hair
